New York Fashion Week Trend Alert: Strategic Sparkles

February 24, 2009

I'm addicted to sparkle. No sparkle gets past me. On the New York runways I witnessed various strategic sparkles. Sequins, beading, pailletes, and rhinestones provided a mini punch strategically placed on shoulders, lapels, waists, and sleeves. This is the ideal way to tackle sparkle without feeling overkill. Shoulders were the most popular; notice the cool contrast of this black sparkly cluster atop Akiko Ogawa's femme pink sweater.

I'm loving the sparkles i've been seeing in Fashion Week, and I agree that the more strategic ones, aka, not overpowering sparkles, are still the most affective. Sparkles and shimmers and the like can be used as a tool to attract the eyes attention to a certain part of the clothing, or to a certain part of the body, whichever is in need of more attention! Love the Akiko sweater, contrast is done very neatly.
